Abstract
The European Directive 2002/49/EU (END) has defined new indicators and instruments to evaluate environmental noise due to transport infrastructures. The Directive introduces the concept of “Strategic noise mapping” as “a map for the global assessment of noise exposure”, also defining roads, railways, airports and agglomerations that require to be analyzed trough this instrument. In order to foster an uniform approach in the member states, the European Commission Working Group on Assessment Exposure to Noise (WG-AEN) published a guideline named “Good Practice Guide for Strategic Noise Mapping and the Production of Associated Data on Noise Exposure”. The paper presents the procedures used in the noise maps of 8 important roads within the jurisdiction of the Provinces of Genoa and Savona, Ita-ly, a work that has been carried out as the first part of EU–funded LIFE+ NADIA project (Noise Abatement Demonstrative and Innovative Actions and information to the public). The procedures allow to create noise maps using of different levels of input data. The project also focused on the realization of noise action plans, sustainable noise abatement measures and innovative dissemination events. An important goal of NADIA project is in fact to determine different methodologies for the dissemination of noise information, considering various stakeholders (local authorities, engineers and consultants, high school students etc.), and to develop new multimedia tools, in order to encourage a better understanding of noise prob-lems and to increase the awareness of the citizens.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
